Publisher's Weekly Review
Starred Review. Culled from Bon Appetit magazine's Fast, Fresh, Easy column, this recipe compendium is one of the largest available for those who love to cook and eat well but lack time on weeknights to make dishes that require hours to prepare. Although Fairchild forgoes estimates of how long each dish may take to make, and a number of entries may not qualify as fast for some cooks, especially beginners, the recipes are generally simple, if not foolproof, and cover a vast territory of cuisines. Ingredient lists are short, seldom running over 10 items and rely on the use of the freshest, finest foods available; a helpful shopping guide at the beginning is a welcome aid to those not yet versed in the ingredients' seasonality or optimal appearance. Similarly, a wealth of boxed hints and tips offer an extra level of help to get people cooking confidently. Even if the fast and easy labels don't always apply, anyone looking for a reliable source of relatively uncomplicated, tasty dishes will be thrilled to find this. Color photos not seen by PW. (Oct.)

Booklist Review
The many fans of Bon Appétit magazine will rejoice to see this massive collection of recipes that reflect the sort of cooking that the monthly has become famous for, California-style cooking that always appears effortlessly casual. These recipes emphasize that the best time to use fruits and vegetables is when they're at their seasonal peaks. That means no strawberries in the winter, no asparagus in the fall. Such items, when they do appear in markets at odd times, have generally been transported so far from their growers' fields that they likely lack the full flavor of locally raised, in-season produce. Most of the recipes have just a few ingredients, all of them fresh, and precious few prepared foods show up, save some Asian sauces and the like. Those who enjoy entertaining will find many inspirations here for appetizers and snacks.--Knoblauch, Mark Copyright 2008 Booklist
